Clamping fixture for accommodating different component types

Abstract

The invention shows a clamping fixture to accommodate and accurately position different component types which comprises at least a rotary element mounted in a rotary manner around an axis of rotation and at least two component type-related accommodating elements attached to the rotary element to accommodate components, wherein the at least two accommodating elements are arranged offset to one another in the direction of rotation of the rotary element so that each accommodating element can be brought into a working position to accommodate and accurately position a component through rotating the rotary element around the axis of rotation.

         3 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 1 , characterized through at least two accommodating element sets, of which each contains at least two accommodating elements offset in the direction along the axis of rotation, wherein the at least two accommodating element sets are arranged offset to one another in the direction of rotation of the rotary element such that each accommodating element set can be brought into a working position to accommodate a component through its accommodating elements by turning the rotary element around the axis of rotation. 
     
     
         4 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 3 , characterized in that each accommodating element set is attached to the rotary element in modular form. 
     
     
         5 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 4 , characterized in that each accommodating element set module by means of a carrier element is detachably attached to the rotary element. 
     
     
         6 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the rotary element has an elongated shape along its axis of rotation. 
     
     
         7 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the rotary element is designed in form of a square tube or cylindrical tube. 
     
     
         8 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 7 , characterized through accommodating elements or accommodating element modules attached to the surfaces of the square tube. 
     
     
         9 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 1 , characterized through a multiplicity of rotary elements which are coupled with one another in a rotary manner such that they are turned in synchronization with one another around their respective axes of rotation. 
     
     
         10 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 9 , characterized in that the rotary elements are coupled in a rotary manner by means of an angular drive, for example a bevel gear drive. 
     
     
         11 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 9 , characterized through a motor drive coupled in a rotary manner with only a single rotary element for rotating the rotary element around its axis of rotation. 
     
     
         12 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 1 , characterized through a rotary element rotary position fixing device for fixing selectable rotary positions at least of one rotary element around is axis of rotation. 
     
     
         13 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 9 , characterized through a single rotary element rotary position fixing device for fixing selectable rotary positions of a same rotary element around its axis of rotation. 
     
     
         14 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 1 , characterized through a sensor element for sensing rotary positions of at least one rotary element. 
     
     
         15 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 9 , characterized through a sole sensor element for sensing rotary positions of a same rotary element. 
     
     
         16 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the accommodating elements are designed in form of geometrical grippers. 
     
     
         17 . The clamping fixture according to  claim 1 , characterized through at least one processing element for processing the component attached to at least one rotary element.
